The Board of Directors would like to extend our heart-felt gratitude to Joseph Ostermeier who has been serving as a Board Member since March of 2019, and Treasurer since April of that year. He brought to his board service degrees in both Accounting and Business Management. He has run up to eighteen corporations at a time as Controller, mostly in the automotive and music industries. Joseph became known for his ability to analyze and correct the errors of previous controllers and for saving several companies. He has run his own company, Infinity Records, since 1990.
Joseph has been involved with his church since childhood, and even then wondered where the priests were hiding the more mystical parts of the faith. He read the scriptures of different faiths, went to a variety of churches, and spoke philosophically to many about the concerns and questions he had. When he was seventeen, Joseph read Edgar Cayce for the first time. He immediately joined the national A.R.E. and started a new course of study. He chose to serve on the A.R.E. of New York Board because he wanted to do something spiritual outside of his church and serve this community. Joseph is a devoted family man, and his longtime friends describe him as caring, kind, a man of great integrity and compassion, helpful to those in need (spiritually, psychologically or physically).
Joseph will be stepping down from his position as Treasurer and Board Member, and we thank him for his service to A.R.E. of New York, our greater community, and his commitment to our mission.
